kaisou | UN: Zodiac | Happy New Year!

WHO: Everyone!
WHERE: Libra App
WHEN: Janary 1st
WHAT: Zodiac Network Post
WARNINGS: None!

[As the month moves into January, the temperature drops sharply, bringing in the colds of deep winter. In the sky, the Spirit vein turns to shades of blue as the Water element comes into effect. Everyone's devices will emit a soothing wind chime sound as a new Zodiac post appears. The chime will sound even if you have your phone turned off or on silent, and will not stop until you read their message and comment to it.]

AZ, Whisper, Anaxa and Alastor have joined the app. Say hi everyone!

Blackwargreymon, Arjuna, Cyrene, and Joshuahave left the app.

[The post then continues on.]

Hello and thank you for using the Libra app.

Happy New Year everyone! Can you believe that 2025 is already over? This year has really flown by! We hope you all had a wonderful year, and an even better 2026!

As for announcements, there aren't too many- so I'll try not to keep you too long! This month, Zodiac will be helping sponsor the annual Winter Carnival! As such, we hope you're willing to brave the cold and embrace the joys of winter! There will be the ice palace, a snowman building competition- and don't forget, the ever popular ice fishing tournament! I've heard the winner gets a cash prize and an all expenses-paid fishing weekend trip, so you don't want to miss that!

Besides that, the seers haven't detected any immediate dangers, though they keep giving us the weather forecast for Barcelona for some reason. I wish they'd stop, I don't like being reminded how much warmer and sunnier it is in Spain while I'm stuck here-- not that I mind the cold at all!

Oh, and one last thing- we want to remind you guys that the Zodiac job board is carefully vetted by Zodiac! As such, you can trust any jobs posted there can be trusted- especially since we've added a number of security features to screen job posers! However, not every job board in the city uses the same care and precaution- so be wary of that! If you care about your safety, go to Zodiac first!

That's all for now! We hope you have a Happy New year, and we leave you off with our ever popular ice breakers!

This post is sponsored by SOUP! Start the New Year off with a great look a SOUP!

They act like "vetted by Zodiac" is a good thing smh

Jealousy isn't a good look for any Official Corporation.

:)

Green is not your colour, Miss Janet.

Your job board once gave me a job with a Krusnik operative, so I hope those security features truly ARE new.

But I believe we can trust work posted and vetted by our own, yes? There is no need for concern.

As for New Year goals... goodness I haven't even thought of that yet. Maybe find a new hobby or two.

[ Girl is a workaholic help. ]

Maybe if Zodiac did better work at helping people out instead of being as self-serving as possible, then there wouldn't need to be "unvetted" job boards. Weird how that works, huh?

Right?

If they're going to do petty, they could at least do it well.

they what. did I miss that?

[Probably blocked it from memory, actually.]

Now, now, let's be fair Lycaon.

I doubt any colors suit her.

You'd think for a big organizatio like that, they would at least do the bare minimum.

I was planning to simply ignore this, but I must correct one grievous error.

My name is not “Anaxa”. It is ANAXAGORAS. Please make an effort to remember it.

Mm, it's how we found out Krusnik was in the city a few years ago.

Weissman was posting jobs under a fake name. Jusis and I took the job together. The job itself was pretty ordinary, but I kept having a bad feeling and Jusis reacted badly to his aura, so he looked into it.

??? When did you get here???

Wait are you an isekai or from this world?

On the contrary.
Witches usually are green.

right. guess I blocked that part from my memory. fuckers

I think even the Wicked Witch of the West would have issues being compared to her~

The Aides du Meropide postings are personally vetted by myself, as we operate at a considerably smaller scale than what Zodiac is capable of bringing to bear. Indeed, our aim from the beginning was to seek out jobs that people had declined to bring to Zodiac in the first place. I've never viewed us as being in any way competitive against Zodiac's listings.

[It's actually fun to be acknowledged as annoying by the big fish.]
